Videos: Building the 2014 Audi R8, Dancing With the 2015 S3

The 2014 Audi R8 is a very special car that requires special assembly techniques. And to remind us that the R8 isn't just built on a run-of-the-mill production line, Audi has produced the following video showcasing the handcrafted process required to build the supercar.

The short clip features just a few of the 241 specialists who help construct the R8. Just under 5200 components go into the supercar and the video emphasizes the amount of care and detail that goes into installing each part, from the taillights to the four-ringed badge on the hood. Everything requires a perfectionist's hand and eye. The end result (in this case a V-10 model) is a car we've praised for years. We recently drove the updated and range-topping R8 V10 Plus, which makes 550 hp from its 5.2-liter V-10. Better yet, it's now blessed with an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, ditching the single-clutch unit used prior to the refresh.Read our first drive of the 2014 R8 HERE: 2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus Spyder First Drive

The next video features the 2015 Audi S3 and is a bit more eccentric. We first saw the S3 at the New York auto show, along with the A3 sedan also coming to the U.S. The clip shows an S3 drifting and doing donuts while clubbers and a random female dance the night away. A quick shot of the navigation screen shows off a picture of Shanghai's skyline, which will likely be one of the S3 biggest markets. Details on the S3 haven't been released, but the 2015 A3 on which it's based is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2014.Source: Audi via YouTube
